[A1] Checkmate Deck

The Mew EX solo battles have a lot of Fairy type Pokémon, which are weak to Steel. A1 and A1a lacks in Dark and Steel types, so the combo of the two types is the reason behind this deck.

Mew EX is in there to counter itself.

One last thing, the name: Checkmate because the Pawniard\Bisharp have names based on Shogi chess pieces, Arbok is like a queen that locks your movements and Mew EX is the king of the deck: important and yet fragile.
